nl2br

All "\n" line breaks will be converted to html <br /> tags in the given variable. This is equivalent to the PHP's nl2br() function.

Example 5-14. nl2br

<?php

$smarty
->assign('articleTitle',
                
"Sun or rain expected\ntoday, dark tonight"
                
);

?>

Where the template is:

{$articleTitle|nl2br}

Will output:

Sun or rain expected<br />today, dark tonight
